Best Movie Star

Chapter 148: Learn while enjoying

Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a monthly pass!

The Ford car entered Burbank, and the roadside in front of the Angel Agency was being adjusted to green vegetation. Parking was very inconvenient. Matthew simply parked farther away and walked over.

As he was walking, he thought of that question again.

"Keep your original intention..."

Matthew knew what David Astor meant, but he was more aware of his original intention. His original intention was to become a Hollywood star and enjoy that glamorous life.

Therefore, he will never give up the opportunity to become the leading actor in front of him no matter what.

Entering Angel Agency, Matthew greeted the front desk and went directly to Helen Herman's office.

"Is there any latest progress?" He pulled out his chair and sat opposite Helen Herman. "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

Helen Herman raised her head from behind the computer screen, adjusted her glasses, and said, "Ninety-nine percent of this project will pass the review, with Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers watching, don't worry. "

Matthew is also aware of his own weight. He can't speak to Universal Pictures at all. Apart from waiting to see other people work hard, he still has to wait at this time.

"If it can pass, how much will the film investment be?" he asked with concern.

Such a fantasy action film, if the investment is small, I am afraid it will become a B-level film.

"It should not be higher than 40 million US dollars." Helen Herman said casually, "The minimum is not less than 20 million US dollars."

Matthew was a little surprised, "The investment is so high?"

According to his idea, it would be good to have $10 million to $15 million.

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said, "The main measure of investment is not you, but Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers. Do you think the joint project between the two of them is worth the investment? "

"If the investment is measured by me." Matthew shrugged and laughed at himself, "It would be nice to have a million dollars."

It is estimated that even a million dollars is difficult. A movie with a million dollar investment in Hollywood can no longer be considered a small production. Most of the films produced are difficult to reach an investment of one million dollars.

At $20 million to $40 million, it can be said to be a mid-sized production.

Universal Pictures should be measured by the successful past experiences of Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers, as well as the reputation of the role of the Scorpion King.

"How much can I get paid?" This is the question that Matthew is most concerned about. He is about to become a pauper now. "What do you think?"

Helen Herman shook her head directly, "The crew has not been established, and the investment amount has not yet been determined. It is too early to say this." Instead, she urged Matthew, "Stephen asked me to tell you, it is best to prepare for the role early."

Matthew stopped talking about the salary and said, "I have resumed my fitness five times a week. In addition to boxing training, I am also going to learn a little free boxing."

In this regard, Helen Herman has always been very reassured, as long as there are important roles hanging, Matthew's enthusiasm has never been a problem.

"You came to me today just for this?" Matthew asked.

Helen-Hellman pushed over the documents in duplicate. "This is the confirmation letter from the default event court. You have signed it. I will send the document to the court, and the default event will be completely resolved."

Matthew opened it, took a pen, and signed his name on it.

If it wasn't for this document, he would have forgotten about the breach of contract, and after paying the penalty, he never paid any more attention to this aspect.

"That's all?" Matthew handed back one of the documents to Helen Herman, "Just drop by and drop me there when you get off work."

"By the way?" Helen Herman raised her eyebrows, "I live in the south, and yours is in the north. How can I stop by? I don't want to go to your house either."

Matthew said indifferently, "Isn't it just that someone died? What's the matter?"

Helen Herman didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. He looked down at the computer screen. Matthew stood up and asked, "Is there anything else? I'll go first if I'm okay."

Without raising her head, Helen Herman waved at Matthew. Matthew left Angel Agency with a copy of the document. After getting in the car, he took a special look at the document. The situation when he first came to this world could not help but emerge. in mind.

I vaguely remember that I was very tempted by Jessica Drake at that time, and I was impulsive for a second to think about making a love and romantic action movie. Fortunately, I didn't go there at that time, otherwise, there would be no way to catch Britney as a girlfriend later.

After signing the out-of-court settlement agreement, he specially asked for this film to watch it. The actor not only played against Jessica Drake, but also fought with Nikki Anderson, and finally staged a one-on-two. good show...

"It's a pity... a pity..."

In his mouth, Matthew started the car and drove all the way north. He soon got on Interstate 5. When he came to the intersection leading to his home, he did not turn, and subconsciously continued north until he reached San Fernando. Valley.

This small town in the valley is a holy place that many people around the world yearn for. However, like Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley is also facing a serious outflow of film crews. According to the relevant laws of California, condoms must be used during filming, which will affect many customers. However, the neighboring state of Nevada, especially Las Vegas, has no hard-and-fast rules in this regard, attracting a large number of companies to set up film crews in the San Fernando Valley to film.

Matthew drove the car around the valley, and couldn't see much difference from other satellite cities in the Los Angeles area. Finally, he parked the car in an area full of photo studios, which were first used by some companies. For those who shoot romantic action movies, now there will be crews working in them from time to time.

When he was passing by a studio near the road, he saw the name written on the big poster posted on the studio. He couldn't help but stop the car to take a look, and determined that it was an action movie with a romantic action version.

However, when he glanced over the actor column, he saw a familiar name - Michael Sheehan!

This name is still very advanced, and seems to be an important actor.

"I didn't expect that I didn't even change my name." Matthew started the car and left, "Looks like he's doing well."

He didn't wait here to see if this Michael Sheehan is that Michael Sheehan, after all, this is already a distant past tense.

Afterwards, Matthew went to a video store outside the studio area and chose a few new discs. He was not particularly familiar with romantic action films of this era, so he chose a few according to his memory. The disc with the woodpecker logo, I plan to wait for Britney to return to Los Angeles another day, and bring her to my house to enjoy it together.

You can also learn while appreciating. Only by combining theory with practice can technology grow.

However, it will take some time before Britney shoots the MV for her new album.

When he made the payment and was about to leave the store, Matthew found that small DV cameras were also sold here, and the price was not too expensive. It was completely within the range that he could afford. In the past two years, he has participated in the shooting of many film and television works, which has made him more interested in photography. I also got some interest, so I couldn't help but buy a Sony portable home DV camcorder.

He once asked the cinematographer Slavamir-Izhak on the set. According to him, if you want to have a certain level of photography skills, you need to shoot more and practice more.

"When I go to the fitness club tomorrow..." Matthew immediately thought of the use after he bought it. "I can have someone help me shoot a video of my practice match with Niebola."

Whether it's boxing or kickboxing, he is very interested, and plans to keep practicing if there are no special circumstances.

When he got home, Matthew shot a video of the courtyard. The DV camera technology of this era is incomparable to the camera of a smartphone in the past. In addition to his limited technology, the pictures he shot are very general.

"It looks like I need to practice more." He found a way to relax in his spare time.

No matter what work you do, it is easy to make people feel boring after a long time, and proper relaxation is essential~www.readwn.com~ The time goes by day by day, and it will soon enter the middle of June, and it will be screened in the North American film market. In the tenth weekend, the North American box office reached 196.5 million US dollars, which seems to be a good result, but the tenth weekend North American box office only reported 1.27 million US dollars, just like the previous trend, continued to decline sharply .

's reputation has seriously affected the film's box office trend, causing Universal Pictures to repeatedly lower its expectations. Recently, it is believed that the North American box office can finally exceed 200 million US dollars as a victory.

Although this film is a big hit, it is inevitable that it will not meet the expectations of Universal Pictures, and there is no voice within Universal Pictures to continue the production of the third film in the series.

According to information obtained by Helen Herman, many people inside Universal Pictures believe that the scandal of the actor Brandon Fraser beating fans has dragged down the box office in the later period, so that the final North American box office has lowered expectations. The next $220 million will not be reached.

Fortunately, the overseas box office is not bad. It is not difficult for Universal Pictures to make a profit on this project. The income of the film is not only at the box office. The T-shirt with the head of the Scorpion King alone has sold hundreds of thousands in North America. pieces.

This is also evidence that the Scorpion King is a bright spot in the whole film.

In addition, after the market research, Universal Pictures also launched the figurines and dolls of the Scorpion King based on Matthew as the prototype. Like the cultural shirts, these can bring Matthew a part of the income from the portrait rights.

Although the proportion of the share is very low, it can also solve his daily needs.

There is also constant news from Universal Pictures, and Helen Herman has always maintained close contact with there.
